[Zlib-devel] zLib warning with VC++ 2005

 <<Microsoft did not provide seperate 32 and 64 bit system directories in

No, there is both SYSTEM32 (64 bits DLL) and SYSWOW64 directory (32 bits
DLL)

I see no problem in Visual Studio 2005 beta 2, related to zlib or somes
other stuff. Of course, this is still a beta, and all is probably not
perfect.

VC++ 2005 (beta2) still has massive problems with 64-bit compilings (The
header system is still extremely incomplete, as well as the libraries). 
Including a VC8 project file at this time would be rather incomplete as to
what VC8 should eventually be when it is complete.
I compiled everything using the Windows 2003 SP1 Platform SDK, and all
compiles fine in both 32bit and 64bit (for x64 AMD64), which brings up a
different question, if official DLLs are to be released, how is the naming
scheme going to work?  32-bit and 64-bit dlls are incompatible, and
Microsoft did not provide seperate 32 and 64 bit system directories in
Windows XP x64 (Ironically, everything still uses the system32 directory). 
Something is going to need to be done to keep them seperated.
